So, here I am in the family room watching television with my wife. She's watching 'Bridezillas', which I refuse to watch. So, what do I do?....start looking for the etched crown on my Daytona. She's looking at me like I've got 2 heads asking, "what are you doing"?

I respond, "just looking for the crown on my watch."
So, finally I find the crown. I figure taking it a step further by grabbing the camera. She then asks, "what are you doing now...?" I respond, "taking a picture of the crown!" She gives up.

She then continues to watch her show.
Thanks for looking!

Sounds familiar. I've been mocked twice today looking for the crown and expect to be mocked again soon as I have yet to find mine.

Excellent pic!!!

I can never get it to show like that in pics....

Renoir · 9 August 2010, 11:41 AM

Nice!

I too would rather be looking for a LEC than bridezillas.

WatchnRoll · 9 August 2010, 11:51 AM

I look for the crown and also light up the lume on my watch often and my wife just shakes her head...I know i'm sick!

GradyPhilpott · 9 August 2010, 12:03 PM

Wow! That's excellent.

Have you checked with a flashlight or bright desklamp Brandon??

rfknauss · 10 August 2010, 02:00 AM

The easy way to find the LEC is to use a LED flashlight and a jewelers loupe.

tifosi · 10 August 2010, 02:11 AM

My LEC pops out in sunlight.

ersnyder · 10 August 2010, 02:19 AM

Nice shot of the crown! I was checking mine out this weekend and got the same response from my wife!!

mtrunner · 10 August 2010, 02:37 AM

I read the Rolex Forums last night while my wife watched Bridezilla. Women really eat up those wedding shows.

roger0770 · 10 August 2010, 02:39 AM

the crown pops out easier with a flashlight, but need a better camera to capture a good picture.

The only thing I remembered was a girl getting kicked out of a club because she was puking outside. That's all you'll get from me Gary!

All I hear is a lot of yelling in the background! But the show gives my wife an hour of guilty pleasure. It is the least I can do for making her watch Dirty Jobs!

Sounds familiar.

Bridezilla? Even looking at an Invicta has to be better than that.

Sunshine · 10 August 2010, 02:58 AM

I cant see it on my W/F Milgauss?? Am i blind.

scl6118 · 10 August 2010, 10:44 AM

Nice closeup!

Esexx · 10 August 2010, 10:49 AM

Very nice pic! I still cannot capture a decent picture myself...Maybe it is time for a macro lens!

cmedina · 10 August 2010, 12:40 PM

nice capture of that elusive thing!

ParisDakarBmw · 10 August 2010, 12:52 PM

I went to the AD, and happened to ask. They showed me, but I looked 10 times with my loupe, and never saw it.

It's there!

mpkRolex · 10 August 2010, 12:58 PM

Now that is the crown worth looking at...I get a headache every time I try to force my eyeballs at it...
